Yes. I have my HVR850 hooked up to my Samsung all-in-one computer, which is operated by Windows 8. Have had no connectivity or stability issues.

With quite a bit of effort, it will work with Win 8. I disabled digital signing to get it to functioning.

I've been using mine with Windows 7 with no problems it really isn't specific to your OS.. so I would say it would work with 8

The unfortunate answer is 'it depends on a few things' so the ultimate answer is 'no, not reliably and readily compatible with Windows 8'.

I got it to work on Windows 7 with the drivers that come on the disk, so it should work with win 8. Drivers are a problem with this product, as the latest ones coming from the chip manufacturer don't work with it.

I believe it will work with Windows 8, although you might need to connect with the company on-line for all approved updates. Which I had to do for Windows 7. It also is a bit buggy...I have to plug it in and do the software in a certain way to get it to work right.

It is compatible with Windows 7 (which I have), so I would assume that it would work with Windows 8 as well.

Mine works perfectly with Windows 8. I have had no problems on any version of Windows.

Probably not since the description does not include Windows 8, but then windows 8 didn't exist when this device came on the market. It is a plug-n-play device, so you could always try it.

As far as I know it will work. If Win8 supports external drives, then it will work.

Sorry this device will only work with Microsoft Windows, requires Microsoft common control drivers for windows.

My reading of the specs does not indicate that it will operate with windows 8. If it did before you upgraded to windows 8.1, then I have no solution.

I would expect to be able to make it work, but since I don't have Windows 8 I don't really know. The information that comes with the unit is very poor. I used the driver which came with a different which used the same chip. I suggest doing a Google search on the chip to see if any better info is available.
